RE: 25 Reasons Steem Will Replace Bitcoin as #1 Cryptocurrency by 2021!
- If I could be gone with the voting bots, I wouldn't have them at all, but I know most likely that will never happen. But there are things that can be done to fix the payouts such as capping it, or playing out to more the the curators after a certain percentage.
- Imo, the power they have now is wayyyyyyyyy to much. Nobody should have these type of power to either upvote you or downvote you into Oblivion with 1 vote. That needs to change. This is definitely a fix they can do.
I guess what you are saying is break up the monopoly of whales by forcing them divest , it has happened in world with big companies but since there is no ID check behind Steem a whale can just create shadow account and split token amongst them.
I do , however , take your broader point about the problem statement of few players having too much influence to leverage the rewards pool.
Here is a potential solution - once you go above a certain reward value , a % is deducted ( let's call it steem tax ?) and that gets fed back into the system.
Dramatic recreation :Here we see a regular steem user being Fuc$$d by a whale
They will just make more blogs and comment posts with sockpuppets to side-step any threshold.
Sorry there’s no fix for Steem’s reward system. Can’t be fixed. I pointed that out back in 2016.
There will always be ways to abuse the system, it is just way too easy right now. They could at least attempt to implement a system to make it difficult.
Rewards need exponentially more voting to increase rewards beyond certain thresholds.
Whale accounts can not longer only upvote a single account and that is it. Make it so one single account cannot contribute more than 5-10% to the reward payout. These whale accounts also need to contribute to other accounts, so make it so they can only vote for a single account once a day, 3 times a week.
have large payouts reviewed and have the possibility of them being denied/reduced by a random jury
Will it fix the issue, not completely, but at least it will make it harder from them to scam the system
